Donald Trump's threat to bring the National Guard to Chicago isn't about safety — it's a test of the limits of his power and a trial run for a police state.
Illinois has long worked with federal law enforcement to tackle crime, but we won't let a dictator impose his will.
The total blackout in the US national press on the Netanyahu advisor getting arrested in Vegas for trying to have sex with a minor and then being allowed to leave the country story is almost unbelievable
We’re suspending the jobs report so you don’t see how bad the numbers are, auditing the Smithsonian to match Trump’s politics, fighting over gerrymandering the map, and deploying the military into cities. This isn’t governance anymore. It’s authoritarianism in plain sight.
Was getting a Diet Dr. Pepper at Sheetz. Didn’t realize a man was waiting at the soda fountain behind me, so I said “Oh, I’m sorry,” & he replied “Honey, you never have to apologize for visiting The Doctor” & it does sort of feel like I encountered God in disguise.
I’m 100% confident there won’t be a revolution in America.
If I was an American elite, I’d sleep very soundly amid the growing political discontent from the public.
There is no competent alternative entity that can outorganize the current system.
When the American empire finally collapses, historians won’t be stunned by the greed of the elite; They’ll be stunned by the loyalty of the poor.
The working class didn’t just vote against their own interests. They worshipped the billionaires robbing them.
They slashed their own benefits, gutted their own healthcare, and cheered while the rich wrote off private jets as tax deductions.
Not because it helped them.
But because they were told it would hurt someone else.
And that, right there, is how you rig a democracy without ever breaking a single law.
Mamdani won. The establishment is in panic.
Billionaires are raising money against him; Trump is ranting; Islamophobes are on the loose.
They know what we know: Candidates who stand boldly with the working class can win not only in NYC, but anywhere.
Let's stand with Zohran.
